I don't like how fellow Muslims talk about Islam to Western audiences. It's always defensive. Taking the offensive stance once in a while is necessary. Islam doesn't need defending. It's those who paint it as dangerous that need to explain themselves.

Read my critique of Western political frameworks. Consider it a mirror for those who claim to be allies in the West and “anti-imperialist.”

The men forced their way in and searched for evidence that González had ties to Basque terror group ETA. She did not and they found nothing. But they were undeterred. They hauled her downstairs and forced her into a car.
And they interrogated her all the way to the wasteland by the highway linking Alcorcón and San Martín de Valdeiglesias. When they reached their destination, they shot her three times.

personally i think i'd be okay with anything from
#trotskyism to #anarchism. as long as it's not capitalism and there's some sort of functional, free, workers-based democracy i'm okay with it.

all that means is i've probably just not read enough theory.
Major protests against corruption in the Philippines

The emergence of corruption charges over the past four months is bound up with the political volatility of the Asia-Pacific region as it confronts the uncertainty and economic havoc of the Trump tariffs, and the mounting danger of war between the US and China.
